The Association for the Reunion Flag has proposed a competing design.
Independentists and nationalists of Reunion also have their flag (green, yellow, red) which was created in 1986. Green symbolizes the marronage, yellow symbolizes the working class and red symbolizes the period of slavery and indentured labour, struck by a yellow star with five points.
Some sources indicate yet a fourth choice called the “Cultural” flag yet nothing more is known of this proposal.
